The gauge at Carasco was discontinued and has been replaced by S.Martino, which is just upstream of the Sturla tributary (so it's still very indirect, but less so than Carasco). The old calibrations are now meaningless

The gauge values recently changed. If they stay the same, medium must probably be set to around zero or even -0.1.
A run on 15.3.25 felt like good a high medium, that was around 0.1 to 40cm.
If the old reference can be reestablished, around 250 might be medium.

Awesome river.
We had a very fair IV+ run on 15.3.25 after heavy rains.
Compared to the Video in #6441 we had about 10-20cm more water in tight places like the Slide at the put-in.
On the water, Levels looked and felt very fitting for the run, maybe high side of medium, powerful, but not yet pushy/surging high water.

This Video from 20th Dec. 2020 gives a good impression of medium flows.
The Gauge, Entella@Carasco, was around 250cm that day.

There was a shift in the gauge as a result of construction work in early March. The gauge needs to be recalibrated.

Unfortunately Big Blocks slid into the Exit of the nice first drop of the middle bagnone and created a big ugly Siphon. And basicaly made it unrunnable, very risky at least.

L'idrometro è generalmente affidabile ma ci sono situazioni in cui i livelli effettivi in fiume posso scostarsi anche di parecchio.
Tipo poca acqua a monte perchè nevica e non scende e più acqua dal Brembilla e Imagna. In questi casi l’idrometro a Ponte Briolo segna 170 ma il reale livello a monte è piu basso.
Può avvenire anche il caso opposto. Piove su Mezzoldo, Valmora ed Enna, e Imagna e Brembilla sono secchi, e un 170 da idrometro sembra un 200 in fiume.
Poi contano anche le varie dighe aperte o meno.

IT seems like using the gauge of the lower would make more sense?
We had a Good Medium level fr.14th late afternoon.
Hard work, Lots of scouting. Some trees, big boulders, so.e bedrock.

Wollte wegen dem Post unten die Baumsituation unterhalb des Jaegerhaus Agriturismo scouten. Über einen kleinen Nebenzufluss wurde an dem Tag konstant Gülle in den Bach eingeleitet. Es hatte sich im Fluss ein richtiger Jauche-Pool gebildet ;-(

Achtung: Renaturierung nach Ellbogenkapelle mit gefährlichem Holz und Drahtseilbefestigung
=> bei genügend Wasser rechts fahren!
=> Gefahr bei Niedrigwasser für weniger geübte Paddler*innen: es kann nur der mittlere Kanal befahren werden.
Dort geht die Hauptströmung jedoch genau auf eine Tanne, die mit Drahtseilen im Bachbett verankert wurde.
Video siehe:https://youtu.be/vB-JvjgNuSE
ca. 3.8 km nach Amsteg, ca. 500m nach Ellbogen Kapelle

P.S.: langatmige Abklärungen und Intervention beim Kt. Uri haben bisher leider keine Verbesserung der Situation gebracht :-(

At February 2025 some dangerous trees inside the gorge. One it completely block the way, must portage around on the left side.

Attention : quelques centaines de mètres avant l'arrivée, sur la classe II du dernier kilomètre, arbre en travers dans un virage étroit et visible assez tard.

Gratis Tagesparkkarten (WFZ) können bei der Gemeinde Ittigen (Rain 7, Ittigen) bezogen werden.

1. Februar 2025. Direkt beim Einstieg liegt ein Baum im Bach... 40m weiter unten ist eine perfekte Einstiegsstelle.
Ungefähr in der Mitte liegt nach einem flachen Teillstück ein Baum quer. Konnte bei 24m3 unterfahren werden - oder hinter dem rechten Auflagestein gesneakt werden.
